Is the weight dry or kerb weight?
I suppose that its dry.
Anyway, 815 kg is pretty low, even if it's dry!

Minimising losses can maximise net gains
How many types of Elises is Lotus actually releasing? There must be dozens of them by now While the Elise looks good and, without a doubt, is much fun to drive, I really LOVE the Esprit though. Shame they stopped building that...
it is actually exige not elise and it's 9th exige (excluding elises)Originally Posted by Man of Steel
12 cylinders or walk!
In a couple of years the Esprit replacement will be releasedOriginally Posted by Man of Steel

You reckon?Originally Posted by lightweight
I hear they are having difficulty sourcing enough Unobtanium for the extruded chassis...
Still, stay tuned for Autocar's yearly "New Esprit Unveiled!" issue.

Thanks for all the fish
I dig it. I want it. I want to be a racer.
For such a car 815kg isn't that impressive...Originally Posted by lightweight

Visca Catalunya!
...especially as they claim to have removed all "non-essential" items, yet from the looks of the pics have left in the air-con unit which must weigh at least 15kg.

It's a Lotus ... aircon is essentially just a hole in the dash which just happens to be near a duct in the front clam. Aircon weight of about 20g, consisting of the little round facia ductsOriginally Posted by Jack_Bauer
This is for america, remember. Over there they suspect that any car that weighs less than 1200kg is quite likely to blow away if left out in in the open...Originally Posted by Ferrer
I know people here that also think that a heavier car is "better"...Originally Posted by VtecMini
How wrong they are...

Check pic #5. The black box between the steering column and the ignition cut-off is Lotus' own bespoke aircon system, originally developed for the S2 111s and now an option for the Elise and Exige range. It weighs approx 15kg.Originally Posted by :Exige:
Not sure if it's standard fit on this particular model or if it's an option, but it doesn't exactly send out the right message including it in the press shots.

Wow. It looks great. I really don't mind them making so many versions of the Exige. It may be overkill, but it also makes it easier for us regular folk to get it.
Guess what ... I was joking ...Originally Posted by Jack_Bauer
it looks fast
